We did have chicken pox here last week. Both Molly & Megan had it. It sure wasn't a horrible experience like I've been led to believe. Not by a LONG shot!!! Megan was crabby for a few days, started to get the spots, blisters, and then crusted over all within about 4 days. Less than 6 days from the beginning, she was completely back to normal. We've had worse colds in our house. Molly was fine through the whole experience. She slept more than normal and wasn't hungry, but that was it. Now if only Seth would get it......
